Texas billionaire Ross Perot plans to start converting a local city park into a theme park in one months time. Despite several protesters  he met with local media to discuss plans for, “Perot World.” The city council will vote next week on whether or not to sell the land to the former presidential candidate.

Local groups have been lobbying to make the land into either an off-leash dog park or a farmer’s market. The park is 20 acres located on the edge of town with private land near the park including large-acre farms. Currently, there are not any structures present in the park to be demolished in the process.

“The city is in need of economic development, and that’s what I do best. When everyone has a job at Perot World and tourists fill the local establishments, all this hullabaloo will be forgotten.”

Of the two other local groups wanting to use the space, only one would generate revenue to bring into the community. Miles, one of the protesters said, “A farmer’s market would occupy only half an acre initially and might grow to one acre.” Hopefully these two groups can make room for both ideas bringing more money into the community.
